Sacai presents the fall winter 2023 collection in Paris.

Collection Notes

Exploring a theme of transformation and playing with the relationship between past, present, and future, sacai designer Chitose Abe presents a collection of looks that transfigure into something new. Familiar forms and silhouettes morph and change according to how they’re worn, empowering the wearer to individualize and personalize. A zipper fastened or unfastened transforms the shape of a dress. The jacket becomes a device to convert an outer layer into a backpack style that suggests an entirely new shape.

Sacai, FW23

Re-visiting a friendship from the early days, that’s nearly a decade long, sacai celebrates Moncler and their next 70 years, raising a glass to the future, with a collaborative collection that introduces multi-piece forms that layer, disconnect and re- connect to make a new shape. The functionality of a down jacket converts into

a backpack like detail that’s integrated into the formality and polish of suiting; a jacket and blazer hang back to reveal a dress with pleating, lingerie influences and the mix up of feminine elegance with utility that’s always at the heart of sacai’s vocabulary and plays with the idea of ‘slope to apres-ski’.

Details

Utility forms are taken to their ultimate expression, mixing Carhartt with signature sacai splicing and hybridizing treatments of MA1 jackets, parkas and knitwear.

Introducing the Nike x sacai Magmascape, the two companies newest cross pollination.

Images of the bookshelf that’s featured in the movie ‘Interstellar’, an inspiration for Abe, appear as a print on dresses and jackets, symbolic of the importance of learning from the past and a future informed by what’s gone before, along with sentiments explored in the film’s narrative: ‘We used to look up in the sky and wonder at our place in the stars.’

And at the heart of the collection, as ever, love, the one thing that transcends dimensions of time and space.
